Lost in Eros
Book II: The Forest
Reunion
Don held Tascha tightly in his arms and kissed the top of her head. For several moments he just forgot about everything else and was happy to hold her. It had always been like that, one Tascha hug and he was totally in love with her. Whatever else was going on in his life, there was the constant affection he had for her, and in those all too brief moments when they were together like this nothing else mattered. Of course, here in Eros, he had gotten used to having much more of her attention and enjoying quite bit more than the occasional hug, but after being separated from her for a week a simple hug was a celebration!
Gradually, he became aware that Shelonda and Nicole were also there, waiting to greet Tascha as well. Reluctantly, and only because he knew she wasn't going to fall off another cliff anytime soon, Don kissed her again and loosened his embrace. He smiled at her and said, "Welcome back."
Blushing a little, she grinned back at him and gave him a quick kiss, before turning to the girls who immediately attacked her with a happy group hug.
Don looked to Daphne, who was busy eyeing the creature who had escorted Tascha back to the castle. Somehow it hadn't really surprised Don to see a living, breathing minotaur here. Clearly, the big man-bull alarmed the sisters, and the fact that he had docilely accompanied Tascha, who had apparently counted on the fact that the sisters
would
be alarmed, amused Don a great deal. Paying a bit more attention to the creature, Don noticed that the minotaur was anything but at ease here. He was looking about himself as if he expected the sisters to attack him at any moment. Likewise, the sisters seemed tense, ready to defend themselves if the big creature went berserk. Amy noticed the minotaur's agitation and reached out to stroke his side, but this didn't really seem to help.
"Tascha," Don said, "I don't think your friend there is too happy here."
"Oh!" Tascha immediately extricated herself from the girls and walked over to the minotaur. She reached up and caressed his long, broad face and murmured encouragement. She said, "If you want to go back outside, it's OK." Then, with an obvious and meaningful glance at Daphne, Tascha added, "Just don't go too far. We might need you again."
Don smiled to see the minotaur clearly nod his head and turn and leave the way he had come in, sisters scattering to get out of his way.
Don turned to Daphne, who had been watching all of these proceedings silently, and said, "My friends and I don't intend to stay long -- just the night." Don thought he could see some conflicting emotions playing out in Daphne's blue eyes. He added, "Perhaps a celebration of our visit is in order..."
"Yes, of course," she smiled and nodded. "We will have a party in your honor. I will have rooms made available for you to rest and bathe."
Don wondered if he detected the first genuine jealousy he'd seen in Eros in Daphne's tone and choice of words. He continued to assert his dominance, saying, "Just one room will do."
Daphne bowed her head a little, but Don could tell she wasn't smiling.
In a short while, Don and the four women were alone in one of the castle's bedrooms. There was a large, low bed in the middle of the room and a small chamber off to the side that Tascha identified as a bathing room.
"You're pretty badly banged up, love," Tascha said with some concern. "We better get you cleaned up and bandaged."
As the women gently, but quickly, stripped his clothes off him, Don had to admit that he was feeling the abuse he'd suffered in his fighting with the Sisterhood. He cheek was tender and a bit swollen, the area around and above his left eye was quite sore, and the cuts on his left shoulder and forearm stung annoyingly. Moreover, his muscles were sore and stiffening from what had been a long, strenuous fight with the sisters. It was all enough to put thoughts of sex a bit out of his mind, even though he was led naked into the side chamber by Tascha and Nicole, who were also stripping out of their clothes. Tascha dumped a bucket of cold water over his head, and this did nothing at all to rekindle his lust.
He noticed that Tascha's belly was pretty seriously scraped up, but she assured him and the others that it was nothing and didn't even hurt anymore.
As Tascha and Nicole took washcloths and soap to his sore body, Shelonda began to wash his hair, and Don reflected that he was leading a weird and wonderful life. Thinking of weird and wonderful, he remembered that he wanted to ask, "So, Tascha, what have you been up to?"
Tascha laughed and began to tell them about her adventures. She tried to summarize things, but Don and the others wouldn't let her get away with that. She described her first encounter with the satyrs in as much detail as she could remember. The other three women found this story very interesting, and clearly arousing as they all began to be more and distracted by the lovely and increasingly wet and soapy bodies at hand. Don also felt his body and interest responding. He would have returned to his normal self if Nicole weren't carefully cleaning his wounds and his head didn't ache quite so much. Still, he contributed his own fair share of probing questions. To one of these, Tascha responded, "Yes, two of them at once -- both in my pussy, but that's nothing."
"Well, it's definitely not nothing!" Nicole said, looking up from Don's arm.
"No, but there's more," Tascha smiled.
"More than two in your pussy?" Shelonda asked in surprised.
Tascha laughed, "No! How would that even work?"
"Let me think about it, and I'll get back to you," Amy smirked.
"You do that," Tascha grinned. "I
meant
, let me continue, and you'll see."
Tascha told them about being captured and brought to the castle, and about how she'd been tied up to the X-shaped cross while they finished cleaning Don up. Another bucket of cold water was dumped over him, and he was told to sit on a nearby bench to dry, while they took turns bathing each other, starting with Shelonda. Now, Tascha told them about being thrown to the men.
